I am thinking about trading my Canon XH-A1 in for a AX2000 but am i correct this camera has no Lanc?

Actually the Sony HDR-AX2000 does indeed have a remote (LANC) jack.

True. I have an older LANC control from Varizoom that I used on my old PD-170. It works just fine on my AX-2000! Focus, zoom, etc. The LANC jack is labeled "REMOTE" and is located on the right side near the zoom rocker or right below the "Assign 7" or "Expanded Focus" button.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the quick reply, I was looking through the manual for the word Lanc but could not find anything on the subject. I have a Manfrotto 521Proi so that will work perfectly?
